2017 Map of Washtucna South

About this map

The town of Washtucna sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the basalt-carved depressions of the Channeled Scablands dictate the local geography. The map documents the dramatic transition from the plateau down toward the Snake River drainage, marked by the deep scars of Washtucna Coulee and Holliday Coulee. These ancient glacial flood pathways now serve as natural corridors for modern infrastructure and agriculture. To the southeast, the terrain descends toward Little Palouse Falls and the isolated waters of Deep Lake, illustrating the unique hydrology of the Palouse region. Rural life is anchored by a network of gravel and paved roads like Nunamaker Rd and Palouse Falls Rd, which follow the contours of the land across the Adams and Franklin County line.
